The old Intel understudy now sells CPUs, GPUs, adaptive chips, networking and software as one connected system. Its next test is whether an open stack can win the most expensive race in computing.
Gimlet Labs is a San Francisco applied research company building the first multi-silicon inference cloud - software that runs AI workloads simultaneously across CPUs, GPUs, and specialized accelerators. Founded by ex-Google and ex-NVIDIA engineers behind the Pixie observability project, Gimlet ships Gimlet Cloud (serverless agent inference) and kforge (autonomous kernel generation from PyTorch). The company exited stealth in October 2025 with eight-figure revenue and raised an $80M Series A led by Menlo Ventures in March 2026.
